Avengers (2010) - Early Quinjet Design
An early design for the Quinjet. This was a challenging design problem, one that took a number of designers to tackle, including my colleagues and friends Tani Kunitake, Paul Ozzimo, Mike Meyers and Rick Buoen. Originally the script called for a vehicle that was at once a transport that could carry the whole Avengers team, a VTOL ground attack craft and a hypersonic plane that had to fly from New York to Berlin in less than an hour.

Work in process sketch. I'll often start in greyscale to work out my forms on something like this.
An idea of how the wings could fold for carrier storage, as well as the engines rotating for additional VTOL thrust.

Another early sketch for the Quinjet. The skylight windows were for a scene where Thor lands on the roof in flight.
